So Allah revealed in Surat Al-Qiyama which begins: 'I do swear by the Day of Resurrection...' (75) the Verses: 'Move not your tongue concerning (the Quran) to make haste therewith. It is for Us to collect it (Quran) in your mind, and give you the ability to recite it by heart.'

Then it is for Us to explain it," which means, 'It is for us to explain it through your tongue." So whenever Gabriel came to Allah's Apostle (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) he would keep quiet (and listen), and when the Angel left, the Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) would recite that revelation as Allah promised him.
